2022 Triumph Rocket 3 R
1,400 miles on my new 2022 R3R. Still having a blast!

Yesterday while cleaning the bike I took the seat off and noticed that the screws holding the silver brackets to the rear cowl had almost completely backed-out. I think the brackets are called "Mudguard finishers" in the service manual. I cleaned off both screws, applied some medium-strength thread locker, and secured both screws to 3 Nm per the manual. Glad I took the seat off else I would not have noticed this issue.

Question: are there any other fasteners (screws, nuts, fixings) that are prone to coming loose on the new R3s?

All I've had was one of the push pins that hold up the radiator cover. It was loose but didn't fall out. Good idea to check everything I guess.
